💰 Why tariffs matter to Vegas
February 4, 2025 · Rob Kachelriess
👋 Hola … President Trump’s Mexico tariffs were supposed to go in effect today, but got delayed for at least 30 days — good news since this newsletter is fueled by tequila 🥃
Canada received a similar stay of execution, and that’s important for Las Vegas too. We explain why below 👇

💸 So, About Those Tariffs
The U.S. Travel Association says Nevada is one of the top-five states visited by Canadians — and Las Vegas could see tourism take a hit if those tariffs against our northern neighbors take shape. To make it worse, Canadian visitors list “shopping” as their top leisure activity 🫤 [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
💀 Life Support is Beautiful
Life is Beautiful took a pause in 2024 and won’t return this year either. Owners Rolling Stone want to buy their own real estate to host the festival at some point — and there’s still a chance the brand might revive its downsized block party format for the second year in a row. Ominous sign: the official website is inactive ⚰️ [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
🏡 Henderson: Rich People Live There
The 89012 zip code in Henderson has the most expensive residential real estate in Southern Nevada based on median listing price. [Realtor.com]
- City Cast Las Vegas co-host Sarah Lohman doesn’t live in that zip code, but she’s a Henderson resident too and uncovered some surprisingly effective resources for her recent home purchase. She talks to Nia Girma from the Nevada Housing Division about why owning a house in this competitive market is more attainable than many realize. [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]
